As the Budget Session ignited in New Delhi, Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan inaugurated the 270th session with a forward-looking address. Spanning 30 sittings, it will cover the 2026-27 Budget, bills, and committee reviews of grants.
Radhakrishnan’s key message: India is swiftly progressing to claim the third spot among global economies, sustaining its lead as the fastest grower. ‘Parliament’s central role in national economic direction amplifies our responsibilities amid rising global stature,’ he asserted.
He welcomed members to align with presidential priorities through legislation and discourse. Effective contributions in House and committees are essential for realizing public expectations.
Stressing discipline, he said, ‘Diverse opinions invigorate democracy, expressed with dignity.’ Citing Gandhi, he envisioned the session as a model of enlightened conduct. Adjourned until February 1, 2026, this gathering underscores India’s ambitious economic journey.
